Driving Habits Drastically Alter Electric Vehicle Range, Impacting Commuters Nationwide
This study looked at how different driving styles affect how far electric cars can go without recharging. They tested driving in normal conditions, charging the battery, driving short and long distances, and using a range extender system. The researchers found that how you drive can significantly impact how long the car's battery lasts. Driving carefully can help save energy and make the battery last longer. So, the way you drive your electric car can affect how much distance you can cover before needing to recharge.
